But there is a catch: Getting help with your "superphone" could be trickier -- or at least different -- than what you're used to.

In this case, you may have to seek customer support from three parties: Google, HTC (the phone's manufacturer), or the phone's carrier. This is different from most cellphones in the U.S., where there's typically one number -- run by the carrier -- to call for help with the device, software, network, etc.

So what support options do you have?

Google's customer support site, for problems with ordering, billing, returns, apps, and other issues, offers two "Contact and troubleshooting options." Those are:

The option to email Google for support, with no guarantee you'll ever hear back from anyone. "In most cases you won't receive a personal response, but rest assured that we review each report that we receive."

There is also a message board for user-to-user help.

HTC has a customer support line, and a support representative told us they'd be able to help with anything device related, hardware or software.

T-Mobile, the phone's first carrier, also has Nexus One phone customer service, but only for "service-related issues such as coverage, data and billing," a T-Mobile rep tells us. "Google and HTC will offer support related to the product (hardware and software)."

This is different than other Android phones that T-Mobile sells, such as the Motorola CLIQ and myTouch 3G by HTC.

In those cases, T-Mobile offers complete customer service, including hardware, software, and network issues. But because of the unique way this phone is being sold, T-Mobile will not be supporting the hardware or software -- just network issues.

How could this be a pain?

What if there's a situation where you don't know if the problem is hardware or service related? Do you call HTC or T-Mobile? What if the problem has to do with both the device and the network? Will HTC and T-Mobile reps talk to each other? Will any of them ever tell you to ask Google's no-reply-guaranteed forns for assistance?

See how this could get confusing when you just want your phone to work?

Is this a problem? We hope not, but time will tell. (iPhone and BlackBerry support can be complex, too, and that obviously hasn't stopped either of those companies.)

If it becomes a problem, Google may have to hire phone support, or figure something else out. Customer service is not cheap to provide, but Google has ambitious plans to disrupt carriers here, and those plans may have to include reinventing customer support.

People are going to have high expectations for Google's "superphone" and should have high expectations for customer service. So if there are gaps in support, it could be a potential issue for Google's aspirations as a bigger player in the phone business.
